Transcript
00:00:00.000
Hello, everybody. I'm Lou Dobbs. Welcome to the Great America Show. Great to have you with us
00:00:04.980
as Election Day approaches. And you know we're in the final stretch because even Democrats are
00:00:11.340
more worried about President Biden's mental health. Biden has been completely delusional,
00:00:16.840
of course, for at least two years. And now the tip poll shows 64% of voters are concerned about
00:00:23.980
his mental health. 52% of them Democrats worried and Biden's off the rails, threatening not so
00:00:32.340
subtly the Delaware U.S. attorney who will decide charges against his son Hunter Biden after four
00:00:39.800
years of so-called investigation. That U.S. attorney, by the way, the apparent target of Biden's brief
00:00:46.540
hot mic moment in Florida. You may remember that when he said, quote, no one F's with a Biden.
00:00:53.500
End quote. And Biden is talking with them donors about nuclear war, for crying out loud.
00:01:00.100
And Biden's taken to shipping Zelensky rail cars full of cash. Tens of billions of dollars to buy
00:01:06.860
more weaponry and ammunition. I can't at this point tell you how much of that taxpayer money,
00:01:13.120
somewhere between 60 and 70 billion dollars, has gone for weapons and how much might be hush money
00:01:19.380
for Zelensky. And President Biden, every once in a while, just basically challenges Putin to a round
00:01:26.400
of nuclear exchanges just to prove how tough a Biden really is. There's understandably a lot of anxiety
00:01:33.800
in the world markets, lots of volatility. There's just no leadership anywhere, it seems, not in Europe,
00:01:40.180
nor certainly the United States, as Putin bullies on with his almost eight month long war against
00:01:46.860
Ukraine. A war that wasn't expected, by the way, to last more than a month or two. Zelensky, I imagine,
00:01:53.960
though, is wishing he hadn't made that last smart aleck remark about the weather in Crimea.
00:01:59.020
That is, cloudy right after the Ukrainians had bombed the Kerch Strait Bridge between Crimea and
00:02:06.380
Russia. Now Putin is bombarding nearly all of Ukraine with missiles daily, a new more brutal
00:02:13.780
phase of the war obviously underway. So what does the puppet Biden do? He calls out Saudi Arabia. He
00:02:22.180
tells them forcefully that he's re-evaluating the U.S. relationship with the Saudis, whatever that
00:02:28.560
means. But it doesn't sound good, does it? And oh yes, to make up for the Saudis' two million
1.00
00:02:34.700
barrels a day cut in OPEC production, Biden announces he's withdrawing another 10 million
00:02:40.960
barrels from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, which amounts to about a half a day of U.S. oil
00:02:47.480
consumption. Man, that must threaten the Saudis something terrible. This president and his advisors
00:02:54.200
are quite simply nuts, no matter whether you are a Dem, a Republican, an Independent, or whatever.
00:03:01.280
This is now all about this impaired puppet president who is talking up the possibility of a nuclear
0.97
00:03:08.340
Armageddon while being in total denial about the effect of his policies, policies that have torn up
00:03:15.340
our staggering economy, our petroleum industry, and American families hit hard by both recession
00:03:21.340
and Biden's high inflation. Joining us now for his Great America Show debut, the great Bill O'Reilly.
00:03:29.200
Bill is the host of the No Spin News on BillOReilly.com. And he's also the number one bestselling author
00:03:36.840
with a new book out called Killing the Legends. We recommend it to you, of course, highly. Bill is
00:03:43.260
still the king of all media that he touches. Bill and I have known each other for quite a while,
00:03:48.320
and he's a great American and friend. Bill, a pleasure to have you with us. I want to start,
00:03:53.720
if I may, with what is going on right now with both parties claiming the electoral advantage.
00:04:00.260
Republicans seem to be convinced they're going to have a red wave, and Joe Biden, for all the world,
00:04:06.300
hasn't changed a single policy. Nancy Pelosi saying they'll hold on to the House. Well, Bill,
00:04:12.880
is it going to be a red wave or a blue surprise? Yeah, I'm going with the folks on this one. I
00:04:19.820
don't believe any politician or most of the polls are bogus as well. So the folks are angry. There's
00:04:25.720
no doubt about it. Where I live on Long Island, there's nobody happy with the Biden administration
00:04:31.200
other than the progressive ideologues. So I believe that the House will be a big victory for the
00:04:39.000
Republican Party. The Senate, a little more problematic because you've got guys like Herschel
00:04:43.280
Walker and Bulldog up in New Hampshire and Oz in Pennsylvania that certainly are not first-line
00:04:52.380
candidates. So that's a hard one to call. But the sentiment of the country is certainly anti-progressive,
00:04:59.340
anti-Biden, and I think that will hold in November. And of course, it's more than subtext,
00:05:06.400
but always President Trump, his rigged election, if you will, our rigged election, if you prefer,
00:05:15.620
is always subtext to just about everything that is going on in this country right now.
00:05:21.560
Do you believe we will ever get to the bottom of what actually happened in 2020?
00:05:27.860
Well, I have an answer for that, but first I want to set up that it doesn't do Donald Trump or the
00:05:33.600
Republican Party any good at all to re-litigate the 2020 presidential election. They should stop
00:05:41.340
immediately in doing that. If Donald Trump is Grover Cleveland and gets re-elected to a non-consecutive
00:05:50.760
term, the first thing he can do is appoint a special counselor to go over the entire electoral
00:05:59.820
system and look at the 2020 election. That is the only way you'll ever get clarity on it.
00:06:09.300
And I told that to Donald Trump, that it doesn't do you any good to keep pounding the fraud aspect.
00:06:20.180
Right. So now you've got to move ahead, run on your record. I mean, think about it. And you know
00:06:27.080
this better than anybody, Lou. Two years ago, the United States was the most vibrant economy on the
00:06:33.600
planet. And in the space of two years, the Biden administration has wrecked it, wrecked it.
00:06:39.820
And all Trump has to do is run on that theme and throw in the border, throw in violent crime,
00:06:49.340
throw in the progressive indoctrination of children. And you would think that he would
00:06:54.340
have a very good chance to be re-elected. But if he continues to have feuds with McConnell's wife
00:07:03.940
and go back to the election, Americans are tired of that.
00:07:08.900
At the same time, I understand very well the angst, the pain that this man has felt for more
00:07:16.720
than six years now. He's been the subject of political persecution by the radical Dems,
00:07:23.060
the Marxist left in this country through all that time, the deep state, of course.
00:07:27.760
What is troubling to me in all of this is that there is so little interest on the part of the
00:07:32.840
Republican Party leadership in probing and finding out what's going on. I would have thought,
00:07:40.220
and I'd like to get your idea on this, but I would have thought the RNC would have insisted on buying
00:07:45.440
the best investigators in the world and getting into the issue immediately back on the day after
00:07:54.900
the election in 2020. But instead, it has been a level of acceptance, despite the obvious anomalies,
00:08:06.440
Well, the big thing was the Zuckerberg money, to me. You're never going to track down local precincts,
00:08:13.000
and this one hid this, this one did that. You're not going to do it. It's not going to happen. It's
00:08:17.640
impossible. But when you have an American pumping $500 million into selected counties to get people
00:08:24.220
out of their homes to vote for Joe Biden, you've got a big thing there. That's a big headline.
00:08:30.060
Now, I told Trump maybe three, four days after the election that he lost or didn't lose, but that was
00:08:37.840
the total, that he should have appointed a special counsel then. But he should have gone to Barr then,
00:08:44.180
because Rudy Giuliani and Sidney Powell were not going to cut it. So he didn't do it. I don't know why.
00:08:51.200
I didn't follow up on it. But I felt his pain. I did. I mean, I can't tell you, I can't sit here and
00:09:00.240
tell you that election was a fraud, because I don't have that kind of unverified information. But I can
00:09:06.660
tell you that $500 million is a lot of money to go into 15 counties. Okay. And if you don't think
00:09:14.720
that's nefarious, then you're not paying attention. That's where I would go. Because those counties
00:09:21.120
were all in swing states, states that, you know, threw the election to Biden.
00:09:28.020
And we witnessed outright political corruption in the state of Wisconsin. Michael Gableman,
00:09:34.780
the special counsel that was appointed by the Republican head of the assembly in Wisconsin.
00:09:40.920
I mean, he got he dug right into those Zucker bucks that were spent lavishly and the outsourcing,
00:09:50.260
if you will, of the electoral responsibilities of county clerks and the Wisconsin Election
00:09:55.740
Commission. We know what happened. They effectively took over the the public election on the part of
00:10:03.160
the state government and local local precincts throughout the state. The result was, as you say,
00:10:09.960
irresistible, irresistible, they got the turnout, they changed the election. But I want to get I want
00:10:14.340
to get to something because you've said it twice. Now, you told Trump. Now, as both of us are friends of
00:10:20.140
Donald Trump, we both know him very well. I just want to hear how in the world he responded to that
00:10:27.000
statement. He doesn't respond. He never he doesn't respond. He looks at me. He absorbs the information,
00:10:35.860
I assume. But he doesn't say you're right, Bill, or you're wrong, Bill, or I'm not going to do it or I
00:10:43.180
am going to do it. He doesn't say he doesn't do that. And it's not my job as a American citizen to
00:10:50.120
cajole him. I mean, it's not my job. My job is when he asked me a question and I should have made this
00:10:57.800
clear. I don't call him. Right. He calls me. I'm not intruding on Donald Trump's life. It's not my job
00:11:04.540
as a journalist. My job is to watch everybody, including Donald Trump. OK, but when any politician
00:11:10.220
and many Democrats have call me and ask for an opinion, I give it to them. I feel it's my duty
00:11:16.400
as a citizen to do that. And I speak, frankly, as you know, better than anybody else. I'll never BS
00:11:22.640
anybody. I know I'll tell you what I believe and why I believe it. And you take it or leave it.
00:11:27.180
I personally believe, Bill, that the election was rigged. I believe it was rigged in a host of ways,
00:11:36.140
many of which didn't occur to, I think, many people in real time in the days following the
00:11:42.560
election. But Bill Barr played a pivotal role when he chose not to intervene in the election of 2020,
00:11:48.520
knowing full well that Vice President Biden had lied in the second debate. As he acknowledges,
00:11:54.920
he did. He felt he should not intervene. But meanwhile, he was dispatching FBI agents to big
00:12:02.080
tech, social media, big media, telling them to stay away from the October 14th news break by the New
00:12:08.820
York Post about the Hunter Biden laptop and its contents and what and its implications of the
00:12:14.940
of the Biden family, if you will. That was a that was a pivotal moment. And 51 intelligence
00:12:21.240
agencies, Barr knew they were lying. They provided a shield for the former vice president in that
00:12:28.120
second and final debate in 2020. And polls show that that would have changed the outcome had voters
00:12:35.320
known it. Yeah, Barr didn't want to get involved with Barr didn't want to get involved with the
00:12:40.040
election at all. I mean, he didn't. And that was his decision. And he has to live with it. But two
00:12:46.520
years hence, we still don't have any definition on Hunter Biden, Joe Biden, because the media won't
00:12:52.480
cover it. And of course, the Biden administration is not going to investigate it. So there's no
00:12:57.440
vehicle to take us there. And if I were the Democratic, if I were the Republican leadership,
00:13:03.600
I would make it a campaign issue somewhat. And I would say if you elect us, so we can control the
00:13:10.280
House of Representatives in the Senate, we will investigate the Hunter Biden situation. That
00:13:16.480
would be another powerful, motivating factor for people to go and vote. Now, the Democratic Party
00:13:23.700
and the progressives, they don't want to know, and they would resist. But if the Republicans take
00:13:29.380
the House, and they will, there will be a big, full blown Hunter Biden investigation. So the American
00:13:37.940
people, all Americans should applaud that, because we want to know the truth. If Hunter Biden used his
00:13:45.000
father's office as VP to amass millions of dollars, that should be established. But, you know, we live
00:13:53.420
in a flawed country, Lou, and it's not like everybody's trying to do the right thing.
00:13:58.820
And most of them seem to work for the Department of Justice, the Federal Bureau of Investigation,
00:14:03.900
when they're not framing people, whether it be a General Michael Flynn, a frame up there by the
00:14:09.820
FBI, the Whitmer kidnapping case in Michigan, where they're framing up poor, poor average citizens
00:14:17.980
who just simply were available to them. And they expediently framed them for the kidnapping
00:14:25.860
and, and absolutely entrapped them. And they were, well, the worst is the New York State
00:14:31.780
Trump Organization, the Letitia James Attorney General, a civil suit. I mean, that's ridiculous.
00:14:40.340
It's absolutely ridiculous. There's no big, there's no victim there. I mean, the banks wouldn't even
00:14:44.880
sign on to the suit. The people that she says were defrauded won't even sign on to the civil suit.
0.95
00:14:52.320
But that's the most vivid, corrupt justice situation in the country today.
00:14:59.940
And the entire Democratic Party in New York doesn't have the guts to say to Letitia James,
0.92
00:15:06.440
you know, you are a fraud. We knew you were a fraud, but you can't really keep going in this
00:15:11.140
direction because it's really unseemly for the party to endorse such fraudulent activity. As you say,
00:15:17.340
the banks, they knew exactly what the game is and what is done by every developer.
00:15:21.720
It's absurd. There were no loans that weren't paid by the Trump Organization. Not a single
00:15:27.240
solitary person lost a dime as a result. That's why she couldn't, that's why they couldn't bring
0.99
00:15:33.020
criminal charges. And the crazy left progressive DA in Manhattan dropped it. Yeah. Dropped it.
00:15:39.720
Even Bragg had to know that, uh, that this was not a, not a winner. No.
00:15:44.720
Good old Letitia plowed ahead. This is the, the corruption that we're dealing with in America
1.00
00:15:52.200
today. And the media is primarily responsible because the media is now allied with the Democratic
00:15:58.260
Party. When you have the powerful corporate media, Disney and Comcast and CBS and CNN, all allied with a
00:16:06.780
single political party, that's the road to totalitarianism. And that's where we are. And, you know, look,
00:16:14.000
I can only do so much as a commentator and a historian, you know, I write great books so
00:16:18.640
people can read them and get away from the corruption a little bit. Um, but it's there in
00:16:24.080
big time. Yeah. It's, it's, it's almost nostalgic as well as history as a safer time. What have
00:16:33.500
Yeah. Now we got 12 killing books, 19 million copies of my books in print. It is the bestselling
00:16:40.900
nonfiction book series of all time. And, um, and I, and forgive me for confusing the 19 million
00:16:48.340
and the 12 killing books. It seems like you've killed so many that I thought it's an even larger
00:16:53.080
number, but not enough, Lou. I've still got a big list. The killing the legends, the latest book that
00:16:59.560
just came out. Um, this is cultural history. First time I've departed from, uh, political and warfare
00:17:06.220
history into, uh, how we Americans live today. And, and people don't know this, but these three
00:17:12.620
individuals on the cover of killing the legends, the lethal danger of celebrity, John Lennon, Elvis
00:17:17.300
Presley, Muhammad Ali, each one of them influences how we live today. It's an amazing story.
00:17:26.340
And nobody has ever linked it together. And then the kicker on the story is their fame destroyed
00:17:35.680
them and they were all betrayed from the inside. So they all have this thread in common. But the
00:17:44.760
most important aspect of killing the legends is we live today. We're in the middle of a culture war
00:17:49.260
today because of these three men. And they say, well, why didn't you write about Marilyn Monroe or
00:17:55.840
Michael Jackson? I said, because they didn't influence American culture. I mean, in the fifties,
00:18:01.180
you and I were around or kids, it was a conformist culture post-World War II, Dwight Eisenhower
00:18:06.680
president. Everybody said the same, looked the same, no dissent. One teenager from Mississippi goes
00:18:13.080
on the Ed Sullivan show and blows up the entire culture in six minutes with a dopey song named
00:18:20.240
Town Dog. It's an amazing historical story. I still don't know what that song's about, by the way.
00:18:27.080
It's about some stupid dog who barks too much. All right. And the whole culture changes from
00:18:34.360
conformity to rock and roll rebellion in six minutes. It's just, I mean, it's staggering.
00:18:43.340
But I have to say the premise that you started with on these three individuals, cultural icons,
00:18:51.100
and at the same time, change agents for an entire society is a brilliant premise. And I don't think
00:18:59.480
anybody, but frankly, you could have come up with it. And I love it. And I marvel at what you've
00:19:10.300
Well, I appreciate that, Lou, because, you know, you're a skeptical guy, you're reading stuff. And,
00:19:14.680
you know, unfortunately, some people say, oh, it's a People magazine celebrity book. No,
00:19:19.080
nothing to do with that. All right. It has to do with you. Yep. You're in the middle of a culture
00:19:23.900
war. If you're a traditional conservative American, your values are under siege. And that began
00:19:30.380
big time in the 60s. And the Beatles were the spear point. And I'm still walking. I'm looking
00:19:36.980
for guys who at my age then have crew cuts or, you know, or butch cuts. I can't find them,
00:19:44.340
except maybe in the Marine Corps. It's a wild time in which we live. We seem to be floating without
00:19:52.800
values, without perspective or proportion, a sense of proportion, or a clear vision of our future.
00:20:02.640
Donald Trump came closest to articulating that, and I think did a wonderful job of doing so. I
00:20:08.360
think it's part of his appeal. But generally, I'm going to, and I appreciate you having me on your
00:20:13.460
podcast, but I'm going to leave you with this. Fame has hurt Donald Trump. Fame has hurt him
00:20:19.320
because he's addicted to it. And that goes back to our discussion about, look, you've got to run on
00:20:27.120
your record. You've got to leave the other stuff behind. You don't need to be on the front page
00:20:32.000
every day. It's exhausting. And people get worn out. But the fame quotient, and I know Donald Trump,
00:20:41.100
and I wrote a book on him, The United States of Trump. I know him as well as anybody knows him.
00:20:45.100
Okay? He has to be the center of attention. And that has hurt him. Look, in my opinion,
00:20:53.200
he did a brilliant job running this country for four years. He solved very, very complex problems
00:21:01.140
and was able to keep Putin and Xi and even the Iranians at bay. I mean, these are monumental
1.00
00:21:08.260
achievements that nobody even thinks about because they were overshadowed by this insane
00:21:13.980
tabloid press garbage that he drove. He gave Maggie Haberman three interviews after she has
00:21:23.360
ripped his throat out for six years. Who does that?
00:21:29.040
Only Donald Trump would do it, only as the deep state and the Marxist Dems are trying to,
00:21:34.140
pursue him for six-plus years now to destroy him. And still, he comes back for more,
00:21:42.080
as you point out. Bill O'Reilly, the book is masterful, as always. We recommend it to you
00:21:48.760
highly. It's on our website. It is on Amazon. And Bill O'Reilly is everywhere, as usual,
00:21:54.800
doing his usual brilliant job. Thanks so much, Bill O'Reilly.
00:22:02.520
Thanks, everybody, for being with us today. Tomorrow, our guest will be New York Post
00:22:07.100
columnist Miranda Devine on Biden whistleblower Tony Bobulinski, Hunter Biden and the Biden crime
00:22:14.060
family, and this critical midterm election. Please join us for all of that and more tomorrow.
00:22:20.840
Till then, God bless you, and may God bless America.
